Solar Panels

The Mesa Labs PQ200-FRM Sampler incorporates Mesa Labs pioneering technology to meet the requirements for ambient particulate sampling dictated by the EPA. This includes the design of novel PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 Inlets, Volumetric sample flow rate control, data logging and software for report and data processing.

Inlet Sampling Extension Down Tubes

The 12 inch Inlet extension tube was mandated by EPA to avoid potential bluff body effect from the interaction between the louvered inlet and the enclosure or roof of a sampling device. It also assists in raising the inlet portal to the required 2 meters off the ground. A longer 19.5 inch extension is useful with the shorter TSP sampling inlet.

19.5” Extension Tube (Down Tube)

  • Height (OA): 19.56” (49.68 cm)
  • Height (assembled with inlet): 18.06” (45.87 cm)
  • Diameter: 1.50” (3.81 cm)
  • Weight: 1.50 lbs (.68 Kg)

12.0” Extension Tube (Down Tube)

  • Height (OA): 12.0” (30.48 cm)
  • Height (assembled with inlet): 10.5” (26.67 cm)
  • Diameter: 1.50” (3.81 cm)
  • Weight: 1.0 lbs (0.45 Kg)

Aluminum Filter Holder

The filter holder and cassette are the heart of any carefully designed particulate sampling system. Mesa is the only US EPA approved vendor who conforms to the strict adherence to EPA specifications. EPA allowed waivers for molded filter cassettes which have proved problematic for sealing and flaking of the plastic.

Filter Holder

  • Height (OA): 15.4” (39.12 cm.)
  • Diameter: 9.7” (24.64 cm.)
  • Weight: 4.1 lbs. (1.86 Kg.)

Cassette Transport Case

The Mesa Labs PQ200-FRM Sampler incorporates Mesa Labs pioneering technology to meet the requirements for ambient particulate sampling dictated by the EPA. This includes the design of novel PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 Inlets, Volumetric sample flow rate control, data logging and software for report and data processing.

Cassette Opener

A properly manufactured 47mm filter cassette is very tight fitted and difficult to open without an opening device. The Mesa cassette opener has grown to be the industry standard for laboratory handling of filters.

Filter Holders

The 47mm Filter Holder has been the standard general purpose filter unit for a wide variety of scientific sampling applications. The holder is also available in a 37mm or 25mm size.

Applications:

  • Atmospheric Pollution
  • Duct Sampling
  • Occupational Hygiene
  • Basic Aerosol Research
  • Inhalation Research
  • Filtration Studies

PM2.5 Reference Method PTFE Filter

2.0 micron pore size filter with PFA support ring

Mesa’s Teflon Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filters with Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) support rings are engineered by metrologists to ensure the highest accuracy in your gravimetric analyses. Each filter’s PFA support ring also assures that moisture fluctuations stay low while maintaining a high level of confidence in your sample collection.

  • 0 micron pore size
  • Teflon polytetrafluoroethylene filter membrane
  • Perfluoroalkoxy support ring
  • 47 mm diameter
  • EPA PM5 Reference Method (40 CFR, Part 50, Appendix L)
  • Labelled with 2-D machine-readable data matrix code serial number and sequential alpha-numeric human-readable serial number on both sides

High-Purity Quartz (SiO2) Microfiber Filter

Mesa’s high-purity quartz filters abide by the EPA’s Compendium Method IO-2.1, Section 6.2. Quartz filters are ideal for withstanding high temperatures while maintaining a high collection efficiency. Mesa offers quartz filters in both 47mm and 37mm diameter options.

  • Filters are made of SiO2 and traces of organic binders
  • 47mm and 37mm diameter options
  • 37mm filters are labeled sequential alpha-numeric human-readable serial number on both sides
    • Ideal for personal sampling
  • 47mm filters are labelled with 2-D machine-readable data matrix code serial number and sequential alpha-numeric human-readable serial number on both sides
    • Ideal for environmental monitoring

SSI2.5 Standard EPA Inlet

Because the EPA Louvered PM10 inlet has been field and laboratory proven for both PM10 particle aspiration and internal impactor cut point of 10 micrometers, EPA made a request to Mesa to produce the louvered section of the inlet, minus the PM10 internal impactor.

Louvered PM10 Inlet

  • Height (OA): 15.4” (39.12 cm.)
  • Diameter: 9.7” (24.64 cm.)
  • Weight: 4.1 lbs. (1.86 Kg.)
ec-aq-accessories-supporting-03

Standard TSP Inlet

This new Mesa inlet design allows TSP aspiration for sampling devices using the EPA 16.67 LPM flow rate.

Louvered TSP Inlet

  • Height (OA): 9.9” (25.15 cm.)
  • Diameter: 9.7” (24.64 cm.)
  • Weight: 1.52 lbs. (0.69 Kg.)

Slaton 37 mm Cassette

The 37 mm plastic cassette has long been the standard for a variety of aerosol sampling applications. The Slaton Cassette offers a useful, reusable alternative. The cassette (filter holder) is fabricated from lightweight aluminum turnings and finished in electroless nickel plate to eliminate corrosion and preserve conductivity. The internal taper of the 37mm plastic cassette has been matched to permit the use of this cassette on our line of cyclones.

Applications:

  • Atmospheric Pollution
  • Inhalation Research
  • Occupational Health
  • Attachable to Size Selection Samples

Mesa Now Offers Filters for Both Environmental Monitoring & Personal Sampling

Mesa is proud to now offer filters for your environmental and personal sampling needs!  Choose from PM2.5 Federal Reference Method 2.0 micron pore size Teflon PTFE 47mm filters or 47mm high-purity Quartz microfiber filters. Teflon PTFE filters include a hydro-inert support ring which lowers moisture fluctuations during sampling and analysis. Or choose our 37mm high-purity Quartz filters for personal sampling needs. Mesa’s environmental sampler filters have been engineered by metrologists to meet even the most stringent gravimetric analyses with high accuracy.

All filters are pre-marked with a 2D machine-readable data matrix code serial number for ease of sample organization and analysis. Whether choosing from quartz or Teflon filters, all packages include 50 filters, split into two plastic storage containers, with 25 filters each. Most importantly, each filter comes with Mesa Labs’ commitment to providing high-quality, high-accuracy environmental products that ensure all the validity of all your environmental measurements.
